best happened last loving players relationship
My relationship with my players is the best it's ever been -- I'm loving it and having a blast. And it's not just everything that's happened this year, but last year, too.
best days enthusiasm few last team
The last few days have been wild, to put it mildly. It's been great, the attention, the enthusiasm over the team and our ranking. But everybody's going to give us their best shot.
last played time wish won
This is the 11th time in the last 13 years we've played for an ACC championship. I wish we'd won all those, but just being there is an honor.
game happened last sweeter time
I've been doing it 31 years, this is nice. I'd like to have it the last game of the season. It happened to me one time before, and there's nothing sweeter than that.
court flow matter people rhythm takes team
We go up and down the court and try to make things exciting. We play the same no matter what team we are playing. It takes people out of their rhythm and flow of their offense.

We both have our scouting reports already done.
slow
To play slow would not be the thing to do with her.
gas good knew tempo
We knew they would give us a good game. We just wanted to keep the tempo up. They had a lot of gas left.
knew tough
We knew they were going to give us a tough game, and they did.
best came ford guard ivory men phil point practice sit talk watch
When Ivory first came in, I would have Ivory go and sit with Phil and watch our men practice and Phil Ford would talk to her about being a point guard. In my book, he's the best point guard there's ever been.
key trying
We did key a little on her. We were trying to keep her from getting hot.
against boston college good happy win
We're happy with the win against a very good Boston College team.
doubt far good ivory marion quick
There are differences between being quick and fast. I think there's no doubt Marion was faster, but as far as being quick, I don't know. It's a good comparison. Ivory is quick and she's fast, too. I'd say Marion is faster, but quick? I don't know which one.
great maryland tough worthy
Yes, Maryland is worthy of that. They are a great team. And they are young, so they are going to be tough for a long time.
